Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-2\ or\ x=\dfrac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The quadratic formula of an equation}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{We have}\ 4x^2+6x-4=0\to a=4,\ b=6,\ c=-4.\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-6\pm\sqrt{6^2-4(4)(-4)}}{2(4)}=\dfrac{-6\pm\sqrt{36+64}}{8}=\dfrac{-6\pm\sqrt{100}}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{-6-10}{8}=\dfrac{-16}{8}=-2\ or\ x=\dfrac{-6+10}{8}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Thomas buys a cardboard sheet that is 12 by 8 inches. Create an equation for this situation, find the zeros, and sketch the func
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
For the answer to the question above,

1. If we let x as the side of the square cut-out, the formula for the capacity (volume) of the food dish is:
V = (12 - 2x)(8 - 2x)(x)
V = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
To find the zeros, we equate the equation to 0, so, the values of x that would result to zero would be:
x = 0, 6, 4

2. To get the value of x to obtain the maximum capacity, we differentiate the equation, equate it to zero, and solve for x.
dV/dx = 96 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0
x = 5.10, 1.57
The value of x that would give the maximum capacity is x = 1.57

3. If the volume of the box is 12, then the value of x can be solved using:
12 = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
x = 0.13, 6.22, 3.65
The permissible value of x is 0.13 and 3.65

4. Increasing the cutout of the box increases the volume until its dimension reaches 1.57. After that, the value of the volume decreases it reaches 4.

5. V = (q -2x) (p - 2x) (x)

A seagull has a vertical position a, and a shark has a vertical position b. Draw and label a point on the vertical axis to show
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to represent the position of two animals in a the cartesian coordinates plane. This is two perpendicular axis, the y-axis is the vertical one and the x-axis is the horizontal one. The animals are represented by dots, called a for the seagull and b for the shark.

Since the y-axis is the vertical axis and they ask to draw the points with a verical difference between them, we will draw the points in it.

Say the x-axis represents the sea surfice. The seagull would be over the sea, and the shark under the sea surfice (under x-axis).

This is the resulting drawing
